Why F-BNLD had no titles when it arrived on the regular Friday service from Paris to Tahiti is not known. UTA's DC-8 were frequently leased, usually to Air Afrique but the French military as well. It had been several months since it had come off lease to the African carrier when was seen at Sydney. In 1972 it was sold to the French air force.
